Oman Travel Visa Details and Entry Options for Kuwait Citizens

Oman's GCC resident visa is generally described by the Royal Oman Police as a single-entry visa allowing a stay of up to 28 days, with a possible extension of seven days, subject to the applicable conditions. Eligibility depends on your nationality, valid GCC residence status, and whether your profession meets the criteria set by the Omani authorities. Additional requirements may apply, so do not rely solely on older reports about minimum residence validity.

Kuwaiti citizens can generally visit Oman without obtaining a tourist visa in advance, subject to current entry requirements. Expat passengers travelling with them must check their own eligibility separately: holding a Kuwait residence permit does not automatically grant visa-free entry to Oman. Depending on nationality and residence status, each passenger may need an approved Oman visa before reaching the border. If driving through Saudi Arabia, everyone must also meet the relevant Saudi entry or transit requirements, and the driver should confirm vehicle registration, insurance coverage for Oman, and any required cross-border authorisation. Check the rules for every country on your route before departure, as visa and border requirements can differ by passport.

Yes. A domestic worker is not a GCC citizen, so they need an Oman visa. ROP's GCC Citizen Companion Visa is designed for foreign residents of a GCC country who enter Oman with their GCC sponsor or the sponsor's family, and it allows one month. We can prepare the application with the worker's passport, Kuwait residence and your details, so it is approved before the trip.
